Kilsbergen

Kilsbergen is a low mountainous ridge that separates Närke from Värmland. It is the southernmost extension of the taiga in Scandinavia and shows a flora and fauna that are unusual for the latitude. There are several skiing and hiking facilities in Kilsbergen.
Kilsbergen is especially known for its elk population. It was awarded the 1998 Elk Protection medal by Hans Hoffberg in 1993 and these magnificent beasts continue to thrive in the area. The highest elevation is at Tomasbodahöjden, 298 metres (978 ft) above sea level and the highest point of the province of Närke.[1] The administrative region of Örebro County has higher slopes further to the north.[2]
